Kade Cutler in portal

[Hi-Line Bobcat]

I know his family extremely well! Great people! Had a great conversation with his mom this summer, injuries absolutely derailed his career. Hurt his shoulder his senior of high and it never healed right. Hurt it again in freshman and has had multiple surgeries already. Definitely a kid looking for a fresh healthy start, at this point because of injuries he is definitely behind in development. This is a classic sad case of college sports, it helps out all this NIL stiff in perspective also! Go get it while you can.

Get what while you can? Such ****** advice. If your school is getting paid for and you get to play in front of actual fans, what are we talking about? Kade isn’t getting more than 10k his entire career, get it while you can? If he wants to play in NAIA then go, but to say get it while you can is so dumb. He probably won’t get a dime in the naia other than playing time. Which is fine if he wants to play then do it.It’s the old follow the leader, say what everybody says, lions not sheep people.

Brother, try reading it again.

I read it. It says get what you can because you might get injured again. Did I nail it? He won’t get much in NAIA, other than his school paid for, pretty much the same he has now. If he wants to play now it makes sense for him. I don’t blame him, but I don’t applaud him either.

He’s not talking about Cutler getting any NIL money.

He talks about how many injuries Cutler has had, and is saying those amount of injuries puts it into perspective all the players that are leaving that are able to get NIL money. That they should, “go get it while they can”.

I do remember him getting a tackle in one of our garbage time games. I wish him well, his parents are friends with our nieces family.

The poster is saying pursue an opportunity while he can still play. Why do some people have to be such a d1ck? Cutler spent 3 years committed to the program as a Cat, dealing with injuries and you can’t wish him well?

A few on Egriz seem to think Kade is transferring to UM.

Good luck to Kade! Hope he gets the CHANCE to play in the UM defensive backfield if he does transfer.

Didn't work out here in the Nickel or Safety positions. Kade had some injuries his first few years but was ready to contribute this fall and, in my opinion, unfairly never got an opportunity. Ortt/Polidore were our two best safeties to start the year and Dowler/Price locked down the nickel spot. Unquestionably those two spots had the best players starting. However, the depth was shaky. At nickel, we lost both Dowler and Price during the year and instead of moving in another strong safety type like Kade or Aidan Parks (who shined in spring ball in my opinion), we moved Miles Jackson from corner into nickel with mixed results. At safety, Blake Stillwell was the clear #3 per the coaching staff with Bailey/Pottenger jockying for the 4th spot. Next two up were probably Brock Steel and Kade.

Vigen lets his staff decide who is above the line and below the line in terms of "kids who are ready to see the field" each year and that's how the depth gets established. For whatever reason on the defensive side of the ball, I saw the "above the line" players get smaller and smaller the past two years specifically in the secondary and at LB. I completely trust the coaches to play who they feel they can trust. That should be exactly what you want coaches to do as fans. However, I kept hearing more and more this year from spring ball forward that Garza has "his guys" and if you can't break through into that group, it will be hard to see the field. Aidan Parks is a perfect example in my book and a hard-nosed kid like Kade is another. You have to at least give those kids opportunities to prove themselves when they are 3rd or 4th year guys and injuries start to hit. When Miles Jackson was called up at nickel for Sac State instead of Parks, I said to myself (man Aidan is never going to see the field on defense is he).

On the field would it have changed things this year? No not really. I'm a big believer in the best players need to play and if you don't beat out the competition, you are just going to have to improve or see the game from the sideline. I just don't feel like guys like Kade Cutler or Aidan Parks were really given a fair shake to at least get ONE opportunity to play varsity minutes. You need to give kids opportunities to show they can be trusted in a game setting when they've put the time in to your program AND the on-field result is lacking with the players playing in front of them. Our secondary and LB depth took a hit this year because we had a lot of sophomores and juniors sitting on the roster with no game experience. In some cases, freshman played in front of them. Daly & Co. need to figure out how to get our quality depth rotation back in order or else we're going to struggle again in 2024 as injuries always happen each year. That's all.

He is transferring to UM.

Why?

Biggest reason is lack of opportunity. Believes he will have a better chance at UM. Also closer to home.

That’s flipping gross.

Was he on full scholarship for MSU?

[PapaG]

Well, bye! I assume he’s a walk-on for the Griz?

[mslacatfan]

Boooooo

[Bocephus]

I’m confused. He couldn’t crack the starting lineup here and is transferring to an equal or better defense who is in the Natty.

Were the coaches not giving him a fair shake or does their scheme fit him better?

[mslacatfan]

The decision was mostly for academic purposes…

Hahahahahahhahahahahahah.

[Catsrgrood]

Can’t say I blame him, just never love seeing someone switch sides.

But it sounds like he grew up a griz fan, committed to the previous coach that’s no longer here, and didn’t get a fair shake at real playing time here. Sounds like a pretty good recipe to leave and go to the other side.
Hope he does well 10 games per year.

[tetoncat]

Why is it the ones that leave over playing time never got a fair shake.
